INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Catfish Fillet
2 teaspoons Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Place the seasoned catfish in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and the fish flakes easily.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the lemon juice. Remove once slightly blended and heated through.
Plate the catfish and drizzle the warm lemon butter sauce over the fillet.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
